{"product_id":"mozarts-magic-flute-earrings-made-in-usa","title":"Mozart's Magic Flute Earrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's a moment near the end of Act II when Tamino raises the flute to his lips and walks through fire and water, and the music becomes something almost unbearably simple — a melody so clear it feels like it could unlock actual doors. Mozart wrote Die Zauberflöte in the last year of his life, gravely ill, working at a pace that should have produced something desperate. Instead he made something luminous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Flute premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just ten weeks before Mozart's death at thirty-five. It was written not for the aristocratic opera houses but for Emanuel Schikaneder's popular Theater auf der Wieden — a people's theater, a place of spectacle and enchantment. The libretto is steeped in Masonic symbolism, Enlightenment ideals, and fairy-tale logic that somehow coheres into one of the most performed operas in history. Its imagery — the serpent, the Queen of the Night, the golden flute itself — has been illustrated, reinterpreted, and obsessed over for more than two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese earrings draw from that visual legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is crafted in silver-plated brass, cut and finished with the kind of precision that lets the design's fine details — its musical and symbolic motifs — read clearly at a small scale. They hang two inches from the top of the ear wire, weigh just two grams for the pair, and move with a lightness that belies how much they carry. The ear wires are hypoallergenic and nickel-free, so they're as comfortable through a full evening as they are through a full day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA by David Howell \u0026amp; Co.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Howell and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43820735397935,"sku":"028-E-10024","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/1065\/8863\/files\/41DFDF4C-1B9E-4332-9249-12DC6FA17F63.jpg?v=1748810275","url":"https:\/\/haroldandhazel.live\/products\/mozarts-magic-flute-earrings-made-in-usa","provider":"Harold \u0026 Hazel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
